Genre: eLearning
The WordPress content management system powers a significant percentage
of popular web sites on the web. It can be used to create anything from
simple blogs and brochure web sites, complex web sites like social
networking sites or e-commerce web sites.
In this project we will learn how to build a custom portfolio website
starting from an HTML prototype. You will need to know basic HTML and
CSS and some PHP is recommended. You should also know the content in the
How to Build a WordPress Blog project.
Content Strategy with WordPress
Content is at the core of any web site. Whether photos on a photography
site, text on a blog or example projects on a portfolio site, we always
want to build around our content. In this video we will cover how to
audit and gather content, identify post types and custom fields, and
setup the admin area for adding and editing content.
WordPress Theme Templates
With WordPress theme templates, you can control how different parts of
your site look. That can mean controlling templates for generic pages or
identifying custom templates needed for development. In this stage I'll
explain how WordPress templates work, which ones we need, and what we
need to do to get our project theme installed and ready for development.
WordPress Theme Functions
WordPress theme functions, tags, and variables are special PHP code used
to build dynamic sites with WordPress. Many of these functions are used
in conjunction with the WordPress loop, which displays the majority of a
site's content. In this series we'll get started with the fundamentals
of WordPress theme development by looking at the actual code used to
build themes.
Preparing to Code WordPress Templates
In order to build a WordPress theme you must learn how to properly link
to CSS, javascript and image files from within our theme templates. In
this stage we will give an overview of an HTML template, add some basic
title tags and then go over how to link to our assets. By the end, we
will be ready to start doing the heavy coding of our main theme
templates.
Converting Static HTML into WordPress Templates
For project files please refer to the first video: Coding the Header and
Footer Templates The process of converting a static HTML, CSS and JS</acronym>
site into a working WordPress theme is the primary domain of a
WordPress theme developer. The process involves setting up include
files, linking up assets, and then making static content dynamic with
the help of WordPress tags and functions.
Extending WordPress Template Functionality
WordPress templates can go far beyond just displaying page and post
content. We will look at how to add custom content to custom locations
on your site, create widgetable areas, and even add a jQuery slideshow
to the homepage. By the end of the series you should have experience
extending template functionality beyond the basic loop.
WordPress and Forms
Forms are essential for allowing for user interaction on your site. From
contact and comment forms to more custom forms that collect user
submitted data, it's important that a WordPress developer knows how to
create and manage forms on a site. In this series we will talk about
WordPress's default form capabilities and then explore options for
creating and adding your own custom forms.
Launching a WordPress Site
Once the development process for a site is complete, the final step is
to launch it live online. Knowing how to launch a WordPress site or
migrate a WordPress site from one place to another is an essential skill
for a WordPress developer. In this series we will go over the process
for successfully moving a site onto a live server and preparing it for
the public. By the end of this stage, you should be able to successfully
launch your WordPress site from your local server to one online.
